I think that's irrelevant. Being fast in the 40 doesn't necessarily make a QB a "dual threat" QB. Franks is fast in a straight line, but he's far from a "dual threat".
Plus, Jalon Jones is significantly better....faster, bigger, and a true "DT". We got a good one.

We're not recruiting a 2nd QB in this class (from those who have seen the recruiting board). I'm sure Mullen would take another QB, but they're not pursuing anyone. I was hoping Peter Parrish would be the 2nd QB (but he just committed to LSU). Realistically, we could probably take a preferred walk-on as a 2nd QB.

You’re remembering right. When he was “blowing up” the circuit and we were pursuing him, Law was mad as shyt. Kept calling him shytkowski. Said anybody that averages 500 yards per year passing sucked and we were stupid for even pursuing him regardless of what the services say.

After the season....when we'll add a 4th.
Again, we're not recruiting another QB in this class. And we didn't pursue Burrow either.

GC podcast suggests Mullen did not realize just how damaged the UF brand is at this time, hence the suggestion in an earlier post that he and the staff are just expecting kids to want to come here.
They acknowledge that it looks like Steele and Pittman are now both gone. Rae is likely ours.
They also note PIckering was huge miss and that there don't seem to be too many backup plans for the blue chippers they are missing out on. They're swinging for the fences but not adjusting well when they miss on these guys.
This class is likely going to blow chunks. Dan can either respond to his wake up call or join the previous two failed HC in being a bullheaded screw up.

I'm really done with this "didn't know how bad things were" talk. With Muschmap it was "behavior", McElwain it was "facilities", and now it's "brand" with Mullen and Co. Really, you didn't have any indication that we weren't the UF you left, and expected to just waltz into a golden situation with recruits beating down the door? I'm not debating that the UF brand has taken a major hit. But it was never a secret, and certainly not for someone within the conference that obviously had his eye somewhat on the job.
I'm still behind Mullen until proven otherwise, but this talk(assuming the article is accurate) is more of the same loser talk. If it's so bad, let's shake hands, forget about the 6mil contract we gave you, and part as friends. If, on the other hand, you want to keep the money, then stop making excuses and produce.
As for the idea of changing up the staff at year's end, I don't know if that will even work. College football has very small windows. He'll be a year in at that point, which only makes it that much harder to get things corrected in a timely fashion. Sometimes those little mistakes you make early on end up telling your whole story.

Yeah, unfortunately it quickly gets too late to get the snowball rolling. His first and second class will echo two and three years later. Even if he fixes it next year, then maybe a year or two for the recruiters to affect things. Little chance he makes it long enough for those recruits to show something on the field.
I think he thought he would show up, say Tim Tebow, flash some of CUM's rings, and have 5 stars begging for more Cowbell.

How does a SEC head coach who recruits against UF and lives in the same world not know how badly the brand has been damaged?
What did he think was going to happen? Has he not paid any attention? The "brand" has had two losing seasons in the past 5 years! TWO LOSING SEASONS! That is unheard of at UF.
We need a guy who can recruit. I am tired of the excuses... there is always an excuse. I want results!

This!
Never hear the elite coaches make excuses, they just go out the there and recruit (who knows if it' legal or not) but they get the job done. The problem is the past 3 hc hires have been below average.

2 of them (not even counting Meyer) actually had pretty good UF level 2nd classes. Its just Muschamp never developed the blue chippers on offense. Mac was just a crappy recruiter period. I hope Mullen isn't another Mac with recruiting. I am leaving it open on Mullen right now.
